Half lorry driver's face ages much more rapidly than the other

A lorry driver has aged dramatically more quickly on one side of his face than the other. Steve, aged 54, said he has had to have treatment to try to tackle the deep lines and crevasses cause by damage done to his skin on the side which is in the sun when he drives.

It is a stark example of the damage sun does to the skin - and a salutary lesson for people in the hunt for a deep tan. On Steve’s left side the skin is far smoother and he could pass for 10 years younger.

The driver, who doesn’t wish to disclose his surname, noticed that the skin on his face would sag and hang, but he put it down to ageing and thought it was something he’d have to live with. Then one day he looked in the mirror and realised the other side of his face looked quite youthful, and then it struck him - the sun, coming through the right side of his cabin, had withered the right side of his face, the Mirror reported.
